Luminator Technology Group's new high-brightness LED stairwell light ideal for paratransit bus lifts and ramps.

Additionally, LTG will introduce a high brightness LED stairwell light for applications such as wide door lifts and ramps. Paratransit bus lifts and ramps require more light than a standard bus stairwell to ensure suitable vision and safety for paratransit passengers as they enter and leave the vehicle during dark conditions.

To meet this need LTG has created a stairwell light that produces a stunning 236 foot-candles of white light and it is significantly brighter than many standard stairwell lights.

LTG will feature this new, high brightness stairwell light and the full-color display sign system at the upcoming APTA Bus & Paratransit Conference Products & Services Showcase on May 9, 2017. For more information and to view this new product, stop by booth # 431.
